Moss Removal in Berkshire

Moss looks harmless but it does real damage. It soaks up rainwater and holds it against the tiles, breaks off and washes down to block gutters and downpipes, and in winter the trapped water freezes, expands and cracks the tiles from the outside in.

We remove moss and debris by hand and scraper, protecting the tile surface rather than blasting it, clear the moss out of the gutters so it does not just move the problem, and treat the roof to slow regrowth. We flag any loose or damaged tiles we find while we are up there.

Common questions

Moss Removal FAQs

How long before the moss comes back?

A biocide treatment slows regrowth considerably. How long it stays clear depends on shade and nearby trees, and we will give you a realistic idea for your roof.

Can you clear my gutters at the same time?

Yes, and we usually do. Clearing the moss we remove out of the gutters is part of leaving the job properly finished.

Is moss actually bad for my roof?

Yes. It holds water against the tiles, blocks gutters, and in a hard frost the trapped water freezes and cracks the tiles from the outside in.

Do you scrape or pressure wash the moss off?

We remove it by hand and scraper, which protects the tile surface. High pressure can strip older tiles and force water underneath.

Will one treatment keep the moss away for good?

A biocide treatment slows regrowth a lot, but shade and nearby trees affect how long it lasts. We will give you a realistic idea for your roof.
